The main attraction was the relatively low buy-in that didn\u2019t burn a too massive of a hole in player\u2019s pockets, yet offered a massive 50,000 chips starting stack and a flexible structure that was perfect for recreational players looking to get their feet wet and make their way towards higher level championship tournaments. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-megastack-tournament-aimed-at-recreational-players\">The Megastack Tournament Aimed At Recreational Players<\/h2>\n<p>Learning from both the failures the Pokerstars NJ Festival that fell flat in October\/November in 2016 and the successes of the Megastack London, Pokerstars have made adjustments to the tournament structure in order to insure success this time round.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;PokerStars MEGASTACK is the perfect opportunity for players to enjoy a great poker experience at an affordable buy-in to see if they can turn a MEGASTACK into a mega prize.&#8221; said Team PokerStars Pro Chris Moneymaker. &#8220;Players can expect an awesome poker experience and more importantly get together with friends to play poker while having fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<footer><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pokerstars.com\/en\/blog\/2017\/pokerstars-megastack-debut-new-jersey-october-167048.shtml\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pokerstars.com<\/a><\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Sunday Special Live New Jersey event, named after the company\u2019s most popular weekly tournament with the highest guarantee of all the Sunday Majors, the $50,000 Sunday Special online event, will be held at Atlantic City\u2019s Resorts Casino Hotel between Friday October 6th and Sunday 8th.
